Intelligent Agents, AI Agents, Agentic AI… Oh My!
Linkedin
June 30, 2025
In this blog post I want to bring your attention to the evolution of Agent technology in AI. When I started in AI in the 1990’s, intelligent agents were introduced. Intelligent Agents were software systems that can perceive their environment, reason, and act autonomously to achieve goals. This AI technology was developed using various programming languages. Early in my career in AI I learned LISP and Prolog programming languages to build Expert Systems and Intelligent Agents.

Essential Topics in Information Architecture
A.J. Rhem & Associates, Inc.
March 15, 2023
Information Architecture (IA) is the art and science of labeling and organizing information so that it is findable, manageable, and useful. The use of information architecture has expanded enormously in recent years. This expansion has evolved from websites to intranets, content management systems, knowledge management systems, and data analytics (data preparation for data analytics/machine learning) and defining data structures for your Internet of Things (IoT) devices (sensors).

This book leverages my thirty (30 plus) years of experience in Knowledge Management (KM), Information Architecture (IA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) disciplines. Since 1990, I have been involved in AI (neural networks, expert systems, machine learning, and knowledge graphs), KM, and IA - researching, developing processes for capturing and codifying knowledge, developing knowledge management systems, developing and operationalizing knowledge management and information architecture strategies across several industries, and developing information architecture for a myriad of knowledge management, content management, and document management systems.

Essential Topics in Artificial Intelligence: An examination of AI Ethics and Governance, Large Language Models, Artificial General Intelligence, and Natural Language Processing
A.J. Rhem & Associates, Inc.
December 22, 2023
The intent of AI is to enable computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, as such AI will evolve to take many jobs once performed by humans. When I started in AI in the late 1980’s and through the late 1990’s, AI was identified as a multidisciplinary science, which included expert systems, neural networks, robotics, Natural Language Processing (NPL), Speech Recognition and Vision. This multidisciplinary aspect of AI enabled AI to make inroads into industries such as healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and the military. The most recent focus on AI is concerned with the implementation of Machine Learning (ML) Algorithms, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI which produce images. A host of Generative AI applications have entered the consumer consciousness specifically around LLMs (i.e., ChatGPT, Bard) and Generative AI image creation (i.e., Midjourney, DALL-E2).

Agentic AI Forces Policy to Become Code

Date : December 13, 2025

Agentic AI systems decide, act, coordinate, and execute across systems. Once agents are autonomous, traditional governance artifacts, policies, guidelines, standards, and ethics will collapse under real-time decision velocity. In practice, Human-in-the-loop governance does not scale. This reality will force a structural shift: governance must become executable, embedded into the Agentic AI framework.

Agentic AI frameworks (AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, OpenAI Swarm-style orchestration, etc.) already rely on planners, routers, memory, and tool invocation layers. My prediction for 2026 is that policy will naturally become another first-class runtime component, not an external control, and will be an expectation of Agent implementation

2025 Predictions for Generative AI

Date : November 01, 2024

Advanced-level prompt engineering will become necessary to produce unbiased results for Gen AI Applications.

More AI Agents performing as semi-autonomous Gen AI programs will be embedded in applications to interact with unstructured data.

The environmental impact of Gen AI will become more noticeable, and federal and State governments will adopt environmental policies to ensure Gen AI meets environmental regulations.

The use of Gen AI applications at the high school and college level will become more prevalent causing schools and school districts to develop and enforce more stringent Gen AI use policies.

Delivering Knowledge-as-a-Service - Empowering your people with intelligent access to knowledge!

Location: Open    Fees: negotiable

Service Type: Service Offered

Delivering Knowledge as a Service – KaaS, is not the same as Software as a Service (SaaS) although both share the foundational aspect of being cloud based. KaaS is about delivering the right knowledge to the right person in the right context at the right time via desktop, laptop or any mobile device. Catchy, yes but practical! KaaS delivery of knowledge consists of both explicit and tacit knowledge. It allows for access to tangible knowledge such as how-to’s, lessons learned, best practices, proven workflows, case studies, procedural manuals, plans, and templates as well as to the people who are experts about that knowledge. KaaS brings together KM and AI for intelligent delivery and access to knowledge.

This program will provide the participants with the understanding of KaaS as well as the tools and techniques to launch KaaS at their organization.

19th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM) - Keynote Address

Location: Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center, Kent Ohio, USA    Date : October 21, 2024 - October 22, 2024     Organizer: Kent State University

The 19th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM 2024) brings together academics, researchers, practitioners, consultants, and students to participate in discussions on important issues in social justice of knowledge management, and organizational learning. ICKM´s main objective is to foster discussions about the role of co-production via multiple stakeholders in the realm of knowledge generation, and also discussions about how governance strategies and knowledge management practices influence participation and collaboration for the co-production, and thus how to use this new knowledge for the common good. This year’s conference theme is "Navigating Inequities and Social Justice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence."
My keynote address theme is: From Data to Justice: Creating Ethical AI Through Knowledge Management. Synopsis: My keynote presentation will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and social justice, emphasizing the pivotal role of knowledge management (KM) in ensuring ethical AI development. I will highlight that while AI is driven by data, without ethical frameworks, it risks perpetuating biases and inequalities. KM can address these issues by ensuring the data used is diverse and accurate, thereby mitigating systemic biases.

AI Ethics and its Impact on Knowledge Management

Location: Washington DC    Date : November 06, 2023 - November 09, 2023     Organizer: KM World

AI provides the mechanisms to enable machines to learn. Incorporating AI in the delivery of knowledge will facilitate fast, efficient, and accurate decision making. AI provides the capabilities to expand, use, and create knowledge in ways we have not yet imagined. It uses machine learning to detect patterns in enormous volumes of data and model complex, interdependent systems to generate outcomes that improve the efficiency of decision making. The use of AI (machine learning) in delivering knowledge is based on the data that is used to train the machine learning algorithms and large language models such as Google's BERT, OpenAI's GPT, and Microsoft's Transformer, as well as AI applications such as Lucy.ai and other AI-powered search applications. When AI is utilized to drive insights from data, the knowledge that is gained must be without bias, and the decisions made with the knowledge are accurate and ethical. This presentation examines AI’s ethical impact on the delivery of knowledge, including an examination of new paradigms, Knowledge-as-a-Service, large language models AI applications, and AI-powered search engines.

The metaverse is the next generation of Second Life. In this environment, we will potentially be able to purchase tickets and attend a concert, conduct meetings with presentations and have interactions with colleagues, and conduct training classes where you can interact with classmates and teachers sharing knowledge in a virtual environment in a more experiential way. Rhem discusses how knowledge management is essential in this world for capturing, sharing, using, and maintaining knowledge assets as it’s in the real world (probably more so!). He illustrates how the metaverse will change and enhance knowledge sharing, training/learning and the ethical challenges posed by this environment.
